“How Big Is God?” – Dr. David Jeremiah (Turning Point Ministry)

Psalm 147:1-6 (NIV)

¹ Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!

² The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel.

³ He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

⁴ He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.

⁵ Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.

⁶ The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.

Our God is infinite. He’s limited by no boundaries in time, space, or character. His qualities are bottomless; His attributes are endless; His power is matchless. There’s much about Him we don’t know, will not discover, and can never fathom. After all, if He were small enough to be comprehended, He wouldn’t be large enough to be worshipped. He is infinite and eternal in all the dimensions of His reality.

Our God is intimate. He encompasses us behind and before, beneath and above. He counts each footstep we take and every hair on our heads. From top to toe, we’re fully known, loved, and cared for by Him, today and tomorrow, both now and forever.

If He were infinite but not intimate, He’d be too vast to be known. If He were intimate but not infinite, He’d be too weak to be helpful. He who counts the stars also knows our names and lifts our hearts.

He is “our Father who art in heaven.”

He’s big enough to rule His mighty universe,

yet small enough to live within my heart.
